Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK, www.miteksystems.com) today announced that ANNA Money, the business-account app for startups and small businesses, has doubled the speed of its customer onboarding process and achieved its target of 25% more new customers in the digital channel in just three months – as a result of integrating Mitek’s Mobile Verify® digital identity verification.

“Our customer base of UK startups, sole traders and SMEs use our services to help their business cash flow. We support our customers with their financial admin, sending and chasing invoices to facilitate payments – but first, we have to onboard them efficiently and securely, and in compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations,” said Daljit Singh, Chief Design Officer at ANNA Money. “Our previous process had many roadblocks for onboarding new customers, and we were seeing abandonment rates climb.”

“As our customers take their first step on their entrepreneurial journey, we needed to provide a simple and efficient process,” Singh explained. “To do so, we required a much more flexible identity verification provider who could verify all types of ID – including driving licences and ID cards. In Mitek, we found a partner whose technology enables our customers to sign up to the service quickly, on the go, and without unnecessary bureaucracy.”

ANNA Money chose Mitek’s Mobile Verify®, and integrated this technology into their chatbot-style onboarding process in August 2018. It’s intuitive customer experience guides customers to take accurate pictures of identity documents, to instantaneously assess the authenticity of the identity to accelerate the onboarding process and ensure regulatory compliance. “By improving our process and empowering new customers to use their chosen form of ID, we have doubled the speed at which we can onboard customers,” said Singh. “We have also been able to reach our target of increasing our customer base by 25% in only three months. We wouldn’t have achieved this important milestone without these improvements to our identity verification process.”

“Identity verification is vital to comply with regulation and protect businesses – but this doesn’t need to come at the expense of good customer experience,” said Rene Hendrikse, EMEA MD at Mitek. “Speed and flexibility are crucial for small businesses selecting new services, and ANNA Money recognised the need to provide this for new customers. We are delighted to support them on reaching their targets for customer growth, and are proud to play a key role in ANNA Money’s innovative services for small businesses.”

Hi everyone! Nice to e-meet you! Here are a few things you should know about me.

I am a conscientious, open minded, adaptable to new experiences and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance and Accountancy. Through my studies I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management and store management skills to my experience through my career.

Through my career I have also been a Hotel Manager and owned a Bar/Restaurant & Internet Cafe. My online marketing and social media interactivity experience was gained when me and my husband started a business with an online/organic webshop & healthy lifestyle consultancy.

I've improved my English at Cambridge Academy of English - 2003, in Cambridge. I live a conscious lifestyle, and try to protect the ecosystem. Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgement or negative reactions, this is thanked to my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed.

I cannot leave far my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma.

Thanks to all my experiences I've decided to venture into publishing and writting, while also continuing to learn many new things daily. I hope you enjoy reading my hand picked PICANTE News and check back for my weekly articles. You can find my articles and news digests in the following categories:

Ric Edelman, one of the nation’s most prominent financial advisors and creator of The Advisor Blockchain and Cryptoassets Council, held the third meeting of this growing group of influencers on March 20 at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

Immediately following the morning meeting, ABCC partnered with Barron’s to stage the Blockchain and Cryptoasset pre-event, in conjunction with the Barron’s Top Independent Advisor Summit. The event offered Continuing Education Credits to those in attendance.

Nearly 80% of the financial advisors attending the event said they know little to nothing about blockchain and cryptoassets, and 97 percent said they do not recommend cryptoassets to clients.

“The lack of knowledge by so many of the nation’s leading financial advisors demonstrates the urgency of teaching advisors about this important emerging asset class,” said Edelman, who has been named three times by Barron’s as the nation’s #1 Independent Financial Advisor. He noted that 80 percent of the advisors surveyed said clients are asking them about cryptoassets and added, “Advisors who can’t answer their clients’ questions about bitcoin will lose credibility with their clients, and they may end up losing the clients.”

CoinAll Launches a New-User Campaign to Expand Community

CoinAll hastoday announced the launch of a new user campaign which will last a month and features a 10,000 USDT bonus pool. Users who complete the two-task mission will have a chance to share in the bonus. The campaign comprises two tasks. In task one, new users have to register on CoinAll and pass KYC1 verification. In the second task, new users need to deposit CoinAll-listed cryptocurrencies into their accounts. Upon completion of the two tasks, they will get the bonus. The campaign is open to all digital asset traders from around the world.

“Community is the foundation of CoinAll. We hope to make it larger and stronger. Together with our users, we endeavor to make the industry better in the near future,” said Katherine Deng, General Manager of CoinAll.

CoinAll is a community-driven exchange, which means the users of the CoinAll community have the power to influence the development of the exchange. CoinAll also launches various promotions for the community as well.

For example, the blockchain quiz show “Who Wants to Be a COINALL-inaire” hosted in March, featured the industry’s first “decentralized question bank” and attracted hundreds of thousands of participants. By answering 10 questions correctly, users could take home hundreds of USDT in prizes. While enjoying the fun and bonuses, users also broadenedtheir knowledge about blockchain technology.

By offering a variety of campaigns, CoinAll has rapidly established a community of tens of thousands of members.

Besides community development, CoinAll also spares no effort in offering high-quality blockchain projects to traders. For example, COSM, which will be supported by Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone and is the first dApp partner of Samsung, was one of the very first offerings by the exchange. CoinAll has also listed other well-received projects such as BTT, ZIL, ONT, and Grin.

As an fast-emerging exchange, CoinAll was recognized as thefirst strategic partner of OKEx, the top-class exchange in the world. CoinAll is showing great ambition, pledging to become top-20 exchange in the world within 1 year with the help of OKEx.

“We feel grateful to our users,” said Katherine Deng. “And we want to give back to our community and make it larger and stronger. This time, our new campaign also reflects our great determination that CoinAll will continuously offer projects of high quality and good trading experience to global users.”
